It's never the results that's important, it's the journey.
I had fun in the process of preparing for the competition and I think I've learnt an awful lotta things. I think we've grown as a choir and that's what really matters.
No matter what we come back with, one gold, two golds, or none at all, it really doesn't matter. What's important is that we've given our best and we've benefitted from this process. That way, we have no regrets at all.
Awards are just materialistic pleasures.
Even if we don't do as good as we expected to. So what? What's done is done, what's the use of whining and complaining and cursing and blaming anyone at all? Just push harder and strive further next time.
Come what may, come what may.Some choirs can practice for half a year, be fully prepared, but still screw up on competition stage. Some choirs however, barely d0 anything but yet they still shine.
Nothing is ever guaranteed. Nothing is ever certain.
You never know what might happen.
So why anticipate?
Let it surprise you, let it excite you.
So long as you've done what you're supposed to to the fullest, you have nobody at all to answer to. You don't have to deal with your guilt. Where would the guilt come from in the first place?
But we have a hell lotta potential and we know it.
We just gotta unleash it and show everyone our substance.
And I know we can do it if everyone puts their heart to it.
We don't need no one else.
We don't anything else.
We have our voices and our strong will.
There might be people in the choir whom you totally detest and never want to get along with.
But a choir is a choir.A team is a team.A song can only be sung together.And music can only be crafted as one.If everyone can put aside their selfish desires, put aside their personal feelings, put aside everything else around them and focus on giving your 110%...
Then we can touch hearts.We can soar high.We can make music.So sway to the beat, let your heart leap with every single chord, and bring out that enticing melody from deep within.
Besides,
"music that doesn't come from the heart is barely music at all."
